Explanation:

<em>1. "stood like a pillar of cloud torn"</em>

Figurative language: <u>a Simile.</u>

Meaning: A Simile is a figurative language that makes a comparison between two things of a different kind to make a vivid description using 'like' or 'as'. In this example, the author is comparing someone who stood to a 'pillar of cloud torn'. This compares how unadmiring a torn pillar of cloud is with the way the person stood.

2.<em> "faded banners of the departed summer ancient blood-stains against the dark-blue sky" </em>

Figurative language: <u>a Metaphor</u>

Meaning: a Metaphor is symbolic (non-literal) comparison of an object or action with another thing, action, or idea in other to explain an idea. Hence, the expression, "<em>summer ancient blood-stains" </em>refers to horrific events in the past that resulted in <em>"dark-blue sky"</em> (or grief).

andre [41]

I looked this question up and found the complete version online. The research question is:

"Why do high school students no spend enough time doing physical activity every day?"

Answer:

The statement which is the best evaluation of the research question is:

A. It is too biased; this research question contains an opinion and cannot be answered through research.

Explanation:

The author of the research question states an opinion when he/she says that high school students do not spend enough time doing physical activity. We do not know if this is true, if it is a fact. Had the author stated the question is a different manner, perhaps even providing some data, then it may have had some factual validity. For example: "A new study shows that 95% of high school students only exercise once a week. What are the reasons behind that number?" That question would not be based on an opinion, but on a fact. It would be easier to come up with a research - an interview, for instance - that would actually find out the reasons why that happens.
